The Sentinel Leader.
SIXTH YEAR, NO. 51
Successor to SENTINEL NEWSBOY.
SENTINEL, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1910
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
CANDIDATE BOB DUNLOP
Making a Clean Race for State
Treasurer and Has Many
Friends.
There is a clean, Christian
character in Robert Dunlop. He
is making the race for State
Treasurer and he is making it on
merit alone.
The Leader was favored with
a call from this popular gentle-
man Thursday of last week and
he impresses all who meet him
as a capable man, one who re-
gards a public office as a public
trust. There is nothing of the
braggart about Mr. Dunlop. He
is a plain, every day democrat -
one who grew up on the farm,
and when he viewed the crops
around Sentinel he was lavish
with his expressions of satisfac-
tion.
"I have been all over the state
and Washita has the best cotton
I have seen." That's what he
said of the cotton, and he spoke
of the other crops as well. A
good, honest, educated farmer
will do to trust with the state's
funds, and that is what this man
Dunlop is. He looks back on his
public record with pride and will
go to any point on the line of his
public career with the voter, bar-
ing his record and proving the
correct position he took on ques-
tions.
Mr. Dunlop does not run loose,
wild—just any old way to corral
votes. He has a political creed
to which he clings, and by this
faith he wants the nomination.
Here it is. How do you like it?
"The state funds shall be de-
posited in the banks of Oklaho-
ma, the small banks shall receive
the same consideration as the
larger ones.
"I am not an officer, director or
stockholder in any bank in this
state or elsewhere, and never
have been.
' 'I have no brothers or other
relatives who are bankers in this
state or elsewhere.
"I am a farmer; came to Okla-
homa in '89.
"I have served two terms as
County Treasurer of Kay county,
from 1903 to 1907.
' 'I was candidate against Mene-
fee in 1907 and carried the Okla-
homa side of the state, but was
defeated by only a few hundred
votes, losing on the Indian Ter-
ritory side of the state.
The constitution provides:
' 'The term of state officers shall
be four years. The governor,
secretary of state, state auditor,
and state treasurer shall not be
eligible to immediately succeed
themselves in office."
This provision was fully in-
tended to prohibit a political ma-
chine.
"If nominated and elected I
will not ask the democratic party
to perpetuate me in office. When
my term expires will step down
and out and will not attempt to
violate the spirit of the constitu-
tion by switching from one office
to another as in the case of my
opponent."
Messrs. J. M. Armfield, S. C.
Massingale and Judge R. A. Bil-
lups accompanied Mr. Dunlop to
Sentinel from Cordell. W. A.
McAtee, Blaine Jones and Judge
Billups went with him to Port.

GRAIN MARKET.
We are on the Big Trunk Line Railway,
the Orient, and that is One Reason

MONEY TO BURN.
All
Have You Any? Don't
Stand Up at Once.
We very frequently hear of
house burning and a roll of cur-
rency stuck away somewhere
goes up in flames. Have you any
to lose that way, my friends?
House-breaking is common, and
nothing appeals to the robber so
much as the long green, and
nothing is harder to identify and
recover. Occasionally, even in
this civilized country, a man is
touched for his roll, especially if
it is known that he is in the habit
of carrying money around with
him. No man, no matter how
much he may boast to the con-
trary, is proof against loss of
money by carelessness, robbery
or fire. Why take the risk?
You insure your home, your
stock, your crops and even your
life; why not insure your money
by placing it in a bank. Not a
cent has been lost in an Oklaho-
ma state bank since the guaran-
Sentinel has them all on the jump about grain. Sentinel is the
best market in the country and the farmers know it. The Leader
has said so all along. The farmers not only believed the Leader
and the business men of Sentinel, but they came here with the
wheat and oats and they proved all that our business men, our
bankers, our citizens and the Leader said about this wheat market.
While we were paying 87 cents for wheat, Hobart, Cordell, Clin-
ton and the smaller towns like Gotebo, Mountain View and Lone
Wolf were paying less. Some of them were paying as low as 80
cents. See the column of statistics in another place in this paper,
taken from the Hobart Republican.
The question arises: how can Sentinel pay such high prices for: [s no^oslfble showtoTose
wheat and oats? And the answers drop, like pile drivers, on the the percentage of losses before
heads of all who oppose this market, and here they are: j was very, very small compared

and everybody else, all the time." Farmers can scent a high price j eo er you the use of a bank
a long way off, particularly if they have a long distance phone and i
can ask John in Sentinel "how's the wheat market?" John had a
touch on a Kansas City or Chicago wire and the information goes i
to the farmer, hot off the wire, and the farmer drives to Sentinel,j
when some of these buyers pay him the high prices and he goes j
back home in high spirits.
Yes, he has phoned to all the other towns, but they quoted a
different-a lower price to him. Why should he go there?
It is true that Hobart, the worst howler of them all, is now
paying just about what Sentinel has always paid, the market value
of wheat. But the question naturally arises, why has Hobart not j
been doing this all the time? They have the daily quotations, they i
get the papers, and as one of our bankers here told them over the j
phone: "Get your daily papers and read the Kansas City market.
That s the place Sentinel gets her basis." The farmers are going
to remember this. They are going to keep on coming to Sentinel I
with their wheat, simply because we did not fail, fool nor graft
them when the other towns were paying the low price, and we are
not going to commence it now. Our buyers are not built that way.!
If they were, we think we'd start some kind of a lottery, too, like
some other towns are doing.
These high prices have brought wheat from withirl two miles
of Hobart, to Sentinel. How is that for high? That's not all.
These farmers appreciate our good prices and they have deposited
money here in our banks. Nor is that the worst. Some of the
stockholders of some banks in towns we could name are depositing
their money in our banks, after selling their wheat. The farmer
is an appreciative man and he reciprocates, too. Bring on your
wheat; we'll pay the price. Following is a list of the buyers here
who pay the price:
Wilbur Miltenberger-A. T. Jones, Manager.
Thomas Milling Company—G. A. Johnson, Manager.
Texas Oklahoma Grain Co.—M. J. Long, Representative.
Porter & Poarch.
Williams & Thomas.
S. T. Merritt.
Hints to Farmers
Now is the time that you
realize on your season's work.
As you sell your grain,
stock or produce, place your
money on open account with
a reliable bank.
Pay your bills by check,
which makes the best kind of
a receipt, and avoid the worry
and danger attending the
carrying of large suras of
money,
Our offices are always at
the disposal of our customers
and country friends.

0NE of our specialties is insurance against loss by fire and by
wind. We have paid a number of small losses during the past few
months. In case of fire or wind, the insurance company will turn
in a good deal more ready cash than sympathetic friends can afford
to donate. Fire insurance is not expensive, but it is wonderfully
satisfactory when the losses come.
HALF of that block which we advertised last week is now sold
and on it will be built this summer three handsome cottage resi-
dences. The other six lots are yet available, but they are on the
going list and if you want in, it is time to register.
WE are having some inquiries these days for good farms. If you
have one of that kind that you want to sell and are willing to take
what it is fairly worth, the probabilities are that we can turn it
for you.
